How To Repair
Cracked Or Broken Dentures.
|
|
Is Crazy Glue, Super Glue ok to use
as a temporary fix? |
|
Cyanoacrylate based adhesives weaken
in the presence of warm moist environments therefore,
will only last temporarily in the mouth.
Most manufactures of these types of adhesives themselves
recommend warm water as a way to dissolve an
accidentally glued body part.
If you do decide to use a Cyano. based glue to repair
your denture, be sure to "practice fit" the split
denture several times before gluing it. |

An improperly positioned repair will weaken the suction bond
that a properly fitting denture has with your gums. It can also
cause sores or cutting of your gum tissue. It is highly
recommended that the repair be done by a dental professional.
Some areas allow dental labs or denturists to perform these
repairs without the need of a Dentist present. |

Repair Kits
There are denture repair kits available online
and in stores. These kits seem to contain some of the material
(resin and monomer) needed to perform a repair. However,
repairing a denture is something that takes the proper tools and
and an experienced technician. Improperly cured monomer and
resin can cause irritation to your gums. It is best to leave
these repairs to a professional
Emergency Denture
Having an emergency "back-up" denture made
is the best way to be prepared for the inevitable denture
mishap. There will always be the probability that the denture
may break or a tooth will fall off or the entire denture can be
lost.
Some dental offices offer a "copy denture" that can be done at
the time of the original.
It usually cost less than the original and will prove to be a
life saver in the event of an emergency. However, if you do have
one made don't just put in in storage and forget about it. It
should be worn periodically to be assured of a good fit when
needed.
Also, It would be a good practice to take it with you when
having your primary denture adjusted or relined so you can have the
dentist "tune-up" your "back-up"
